I don't see that as a major problem. In fact most life-changing decisions are already based on probability. Insurance companies already do risk analysis and whether the algorithm uses ML or basic statistics, there is a threshold level

In my experience these "leetcode" interviews are just one part of several interviews. They still look toward people interactions in other interviews with managers, etc. So it's not prioritization over interaction, it's a

Well my hope is that something can be learned about this difference. As I said I don't want to take away from the fact it's a problem in all cities no matter how large. Rather, I want to understand what is causing differences in p

I understand your wariness. I am using your population numbers and dividing by the numbers in my reference. The per capita rates are: SF: 6857/884363 = 0.00775360344 NY: 78676/8540000 = 0.00921264637 The reason I said this is not

Yeah this is all stuff I'd like to know. It could point to potential frameworks for solutions. Maybe they have implemented something that mitigates problems associated with homeless in SF. This is kinda where my mind is taking me with

One if the things I don't understand is how San Francisco is the majority exposure of this problem. Apparently New York has the most homeless at a whole magnitude more[1] than San Francisco, but there seems to be less of a focus on the

Well for training attention-cnn model I think it.would speed it up, but as they note in the paper, running the pipeline they experienced worker saturation on their dataset (see figure 12). Looks like saturation occurs after 7 parallel worke

That's exactly the trade-off. I'm not going to say it's a big enough negative to dismiss using the stateless signed token scheme because it depends on the needs of the application. But either way, if you really can't aff

Same goes for any signed token scheme. You can still revoke JWTs if you give them an ID and keep a revoke list somewhere. Though as you said most use these to avoid datastore lookups. It's a trade off. Either time-limit signed tokens t

I can elaborate a tiny bit. It's been mostly a rocky road in library development as well as some confusion in the jwt specification. Basically the JWT spec is poorly designed for lay-programmer use and some folks are implementing the s

Pretty much my hope. If it's so easy to snoop on cell traffic my hope then is that the app communication is encrypted using modern standards and airtight. Though I'm sure you're right since these apps are more under the micro

Hmm interesting read. In Sweden there is a thing called BankID and basically you can use your mobile device as a universal authenticator. Of course, you need to have the device and enter a 6-digit pin, but I often wondered how dangerous it

I have a few questions after reading. Mostly I'd like to know how they built their dynamic queueing system. How do they signal the workers to refresh their dynamic queue lists? Are they using a homebuilt queueing system or piggybacking

In both the original example and this updated version, the nested loops (or foreach calls) create generators on each iteration. However, the first example is creating the generator chain more implicitly than the newer example. Since the ori

This is kind of a grey area it seems. Manitoba IS one province that specifies a legal minimum age of supervision (12) but it applies only to being left at home or in a car (edit: I was wrong about these specifics. They leave it more general

For the first question, we were looking at it to perform distributed matrix factorization in the immediate use case, but were planning to use the platform for more advanced techniques later on. We also tried to implement a quick and dirty d

Really great talk! I think my favorite was his continuous emphasis on not being so vendor-favored. It's increasingly important to be reminded of this these days.

the original benchmarks the author likely used had a screenshot of some benchmark tool's output. It showed a 24 MHz processing speed which I also thought was weird. Could just be an anomaly in the benchmark tool. Either way the tool th
